NO REMOVAL OF TRAFFIC BARRIERS ON THREE OXFORD ROADS!

TRAFFIC CONSULTATION: ANPR USE IN EAST OXFORD: The County Council is consulting on barrier removal in three locations in East Oxford, permitting through traffic provided the types of user/vehicle are exempt, although some people will still drive through despite fines. The exclusive use of ANPR (automated number plate recognition) without barriers in 3 specific locations will not help in the general effort to reduce traffic, noise, air pollution and GHG emissions as so many exempt vehicles can pass through. We need more LTNs with barriers to through traffic, not less. To get some ideas about how to respond to this consultation by 17th April, see: https://www.catg.org.uk/our-consultation-submissions/ If you would prefer to use a questionnaire, one is available, with associated documents for the consultation at: https://letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/cowleyltn_cameraenforcement2023

HOUSING NEEDS CONSULTATION, PREVENTING HOMES ADDING TO TRAFFIC PROBLEMS IN OXFORD

The Cowley Area Transport Group has put in a consultation submission on Housing Needs to the City Council, one of a series on the Oxford City Plan 2040, deadline 27th March 2023. Much of our response considers how traffic increases are to be prevented in new housing, which would add to Oxford’s very serious housing problems. See:
